PRETTY STUNNING
MEGAN Barton Hanson stood up for sex workers as she dressed as Julia Roberts’ Pretty Woman character for Halloween.
The Love Island star, 27, has worked as a stripper and revealed she was “shamed” for getting her kit off when first in the public eye.
She slammed those who still belittle sex workers, saying: “To anyone who still shames sex workers or thinks sex work isn’t work — big mistake, huge!”
Megan dressed up as Vivian Ward in the iconic white and blue mini-dress with black fishnets and had the red locks curled just like Julia.
In one Instagram picture, she had a strawberry in her mouth and a glass of bubbly in her hand just like Roberts’ hooker character in the film.
Megan, who now has an OnlyFans account, said: “When I spoke openly on Love Island three years ago about being a stripper, I was shamed for it.
I was shamed by friends and those in my local area too.
“Contrary to stereotypes of sex workers being addicts, sluts and people with no hope, I had a different experience.
“These women and myself were choosing to make money this way. We believed and still do believe that we should be the ones making decisions on what we do with OUR bodies.
“With these women, a sisterhood was formed, and we supported and cared for one another and looked out for each other.
“This year, I’ve spoken openly about the liberation of sex workers given the popularity of OnlyFans and the debate around exclusive content sites
“So this year, I am honouring myself and all sex workers with a Vivian Ward outfit.”
